You know you are a cavy slave when...

[Treacle]

I have been sitting for several minutes with veggies in my hands from the fridge to warm them up before I give them to my girls.

What about you?

I meant SLAVE (my dislexia...)

...when you get up every three hours round the clock for weeks on end to feed your piggie when she's sick

...You start dreaming about C&C's that don't fit in your house and then wake up to find the one you built last weekend

[lesley825]

...you find yourself standing in the vegetable section of the grocery store for minutes on end trying to find the 'right' red pepper, then buying organic baby carrots for your piggies and only buying regular vegetables for yourself!

Your piggys cage takes up half of your room, and their permanent floortime area is bigger than your room.
You live off of Ramen Noodles and TV dinners and Taco Bell, whilst your piggys have a balanced and planned out diet that costs about 2 times what yours does.

Well said Jenni!

When you wake up to every noise they make in fear that they may be sick...
Their cage is cleaner then your whole house...
Stealing some of their veggies to make a salad and end up giving them half of it before you put your dressing on just because they won't stop begging for it...

......When no matter what store you go into you look at boxes, tubes, blankets, or anything and think of how your piggie would love to play with it, run through it or sleep on it.

When you sell your double bed for a twin bed so you can fit a bigger C&C cage in your room. And when you go to resturants and notice all these veggies and fruit that your pig likes.

when you wake up with a crusty nose and are immediately afraid you have a URI, that is until you realize you are not a guinea pig and just have the common cold.


*Sadly I did this earlier this wheek.*

...When you call your room Clovers[or whatever your guineas name is] Room
...When your pig has more blankets and towels then you do
...When you refuse a promotion because it changes the hours you work, and your afraid your piggies wont ever get used to it.[ i did that...]

You turn your bed in the RV into a Guinea Pig C&C cage so that your pigs don't have to stay in a petstore cage while your on vacation. Giving up your comfortable Bed (comfortable being a relative term ) and sleeping on the very hard and chilly couch that tends to get covered in wet towels and muddy paws during the day. I plan to do this, this summer for my boys for we are camping or on vacation, we go camping and fishing a lot and always take all the pets, well the indoor pets.

...When you freak out and start pondering where you are going to get your Guinea Pig veggies now because there was a fire in your local Schnucks which has closed it and there is no where else to get decent veggies in or near your town. I hope that I wont have to get Walmart veggies! Theirs are never any good, Schnucks better open back up soon *fingers crossed*

-Your grocery store cashier asks if you're a vegetarian because it looks like you bought so many fruits and veggies.
-You have to go to different grocery stores because one will have the best parsley, one has the best fruits, one the best bell peppers, etc.
-Your 4 year old daughter asks if you've picked the poop up yet in the cage.
